Editor's Notes

NOTE: Elicia has the equipment of a full 20th level player character; as such her CR is one higher than normal.

At GenCon 2011, Super Genius Games ran the final encounter of Dungeonaday, Dragon's Delve: the battle against Metterak the Dragon Prince, a colossal great wyrm red dragon and semi-deity.

Each player chose a pre-generated 20th level character; four players were allowed to start, with new players scheduled to enter as they fell. After several rounds of intense combat, the initial batch of PC's was injured but still scrapping. Metterak had been injured, but had healed himself.

It was at this point, the GM made a fateful decision: an additional four characters were allowed to enter the fray to bolster the player's chances of surviving.

And on initiative count 15, Elicia Stormraven entered the field of battle and activated her smite evil ability targeting Metterak. Using the feats Deadly Aim, Manyshot, and Rapid Shot, she she nocked two +5 dragon bane brilliant energy arrows, and took aim with her +5 Grayflame, Holy, Icy Burst composite longbow (built for strength).

She then proceeded to unleash a full-round torrent of destruction (complete with critical). A little over 500 points of DR bypassing damage later, Metterak's spine was blasted clear of his body, and the terror of the Dragon Prince was ended forever.

And how do I know this momentous event took place? I had the honor of running Elicia at Gencon 2011. For a whole full attack action.
